- 100VarietyScott FoundasVarietyScott FoundasWatching *Corpus Callosum and marveling at its sprightliness, its joyous, imaginative air, its effortless attenuation to all that is wonderful and horrible and comical about modern technology, makes you want to jump up and shout for joy, too.
- 100Village VoiceJ. HobermanVillage VoiceJ. HobermanThe Canadian painter-photographer-filmmaker-musician gives full vent to his genius in this exhilarating perceptual vaudeville, titled for the "central region" of tissue that acts as a conduit between the brain's two hemispheres.
- 75The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Ray ConlogueThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Ray ConlogueSurprisingly entertaining.
- 75Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittSnow is a full-fledged genius who enlarged the fundamental horizons of cinema with his classic "Wavelength," but here his aesthetic and philosophical ideas don't quite keep pace with his technological boldness.
- 70The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe New York TimesA.O. ScottA playful parlor trick, a departure from the performance-art films that have made this director's reputation. In keeping with his lighter side, *Corpus is also fun; imagine a Looney Tunes segment or an episode of Nickelodeon's "Kablam!" directed by Red Grooms.
- 50New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickA challenging experimental film that will never play in a commercial movie theater and is settling in for a two-week run at the ever-venturesome Film Forum.
- 40TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghFor all its tongue-in-cheek toying with images, it doesn't reward attempts at serious intellectual analysis. It has the air of a surprisingly juvenile lark, a pop-influenced prank whose charms are immediately apparent and wear thin with repetition.
